Is This Some Solstice Fool’s Joke?<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Santa Fe New Mexican<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

\n

Nestler . . . requested that Letterman, who tapes his show in New York, stay at least 3 yards from her and that he not “think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering,” according to the application.<\/p>\n

Nestler’s application was accompanied by a typed, six-page, double-spaced letter in which she said Letterman used code words, gestures and “eye expressions” to convey his desire to marry her and train her as his co-host. Her story also involves Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee Gifford and Kelsey Grammer, whom Nestler says either supported or attempted to thwart her “relationship” with Letterman, according to the letter.<\/p>\n

Nestler wrote that she began sending Letterman “thoughts of love” after the Late Show With David Letterman began on CBS in 1993.<\/p>\n

“Dave responded to my thoughts of love, and, on his show, in code words & obvious indications through jestures (sic) and eye expressions, he asked me to come east,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Then, three days before Thanksgiving in 1993, Letterman asked Nestler to be his wife during a televised teaser for his show when he said, Marry me Oprah, Nestler wrote in the letter.<\/p>\n

“Oprah had become my first of many code names,” she wrote.  (A)s time passed, the code-vocabulary increased & changed, but in the beginning things like ‘C’ on baseball caps referred to me, and specific messages through songs sung by his guests, were the beginnings of what became an elaborate means of communication between he and myself.. . .<\/p>\n

Judge Sanchez signed the temporary restraining order Thursday afternoon and set the case to be heard Jan. 12, according to court documents. In a phone interview Tuesday, Sanchez said he couldn’t comment on the order.<\/p>\n

When asked if he might have made a mistake, Sanchez said no. He also said he had read Nestler’s application.<\/p>\n

In his motion asking Sanchez to quash the order, Rogers said the District Court lacks jurisdiction over Letterman, Nestler never served Letterman with the necessary restraining-order papers, and she didn”t meet procedural requirements for issuing a temporary restraining order. . . .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
